Solar energy uses the suns energy to convert into electricity. solar panels are placed where electricity is needed. the energy from the sun is converted into electricity without polluting the air. it is a safe way to make clean energy.
Advantages:
non-polluting
clean energy
quiet production
renewable source of energy
Disadvantages:
Costs a lot
not good for large areas(like powering a house)
not good for cloudy days
only 20% of the suns energy is converted into electricity
How is the suns energy turned into useable energy?
Photovoltaic cells, which are large black panels made of silicon, absorb the suns energy(light) and converts the light directly into electricity. http://www.mrsolar.com/
